With every listen, I find myself more and more immersed, getting lost within its magnificent atmosphere. This album does not disappoint at all! **Tracklisting:** - The Cailleach - Embers of the Fading Age - Possessed By Starlight - The Slaugh We begin the album with “The Cailleach” which explodes into fast paced guitar riffs and blast beats. The atmosphere behind the guitar tone itself is enough to make the listener feel that they are on a journey through wintery landscapes in search of Cailleach. It's just a beautiful mix of fast and mid-range guitar tempos intertwined with an epic story of the Winter Hag. The next track, “Embers of the Fading Age” is another rip-roaring start into more atmospheric bliss mixed with mid-tempo riffs and musical shifts to give the song a character of somber melancholy. My favorite part is the middle section of the song with the lone, fast drum tempo. The overtures of acoustic guitar playing in the background add to the songs overall dramatic feel. Thus picking back up into a mid-tempo rhythm experience. “Possessed By Starlight” starts with a blowing of winter winds erupting to an explosive chorus and fast tempo passages of atmospheric sounds. Finally we close with “The Sluagh” a host or hosts of the unforgiven dead. Out of the four songs on this album, this one is my favorite because it just starts out fast and ready to conquer the listener with unexpected tempo changes. For example, a couple of minutes after the intro of the song, it slows down, picks back up, and does this throughout the remainder, giving it a rollercoaster ride of unforgiven dead spirits. The production on this album is fantastic; I just wish the vocals were out front a tad bit more than the rest, but to be honest, it gives that haunting presence throughout the album. All the instruments are mixed wonderfully. ## Conclusion: If you're into **Saor** and other atmospheric black metal bands, then you will get into **Fuath** easily. This album is unique from the start, as are the first two **Fuath** releases. I am very eager to see if Andy will produce more **Fuath** records in the future!
